I Feel the Winds of God
Author: Jessie Adams Hymnal: VU1996 #625 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Person Name: Jessie Adams First Line: I feel the winds of God today Lyrics: 1 I feel the winds of God today;
today my sail I lift,
though heavy oft with drenching spray
and torn with many a rift;
if hope but light the water’s crest,
and Christ my bark will use,
I’ll seek the seas at his behest,
and brave another cruise.
2 It is the wind of God that dries
my vain regretful tears,
until with braver thoughts shall rise
the purer, brighter years;
if cast on shores of selfish ease
or pleasure I should be,
O let me feel your freshening breeze,
and I’ll put back to sea.
3 If ever I forget your love
and how that love was shown,
lift high the blood-red flag above;
it bears your name alone.
Great pilot of my onward way,
you will not let me drift;
I feel the winds of God today,
today my sail I lift.

Author: Sarah Flower Adams; Charles Châtelanat Hymnal: VU1996 #497 (1996) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Person Name: Sarah Flower Adams First Line: Nearer, my God, to thee (Mon Dieu, plus près de toi) Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
E'en though it be a cross
that raiseth me,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
2 Though like the wanderer,
the sun gone down,
darkness be over me,
my rest a stone;
yet in my dreams I'd be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
3 There let the way appear,
steps unto heaven;
all that thou sendest me,
in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
bright with thy praise,
out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
5 Or if on joyful wing
cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot,
upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee;
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee!
French:
1 Mon Dieu, plus près de toi,
plus près de toi!
C'est le cri de ma foi:
Plus près de toi!

plus près de toi!
2 Plus près de toi, Seigneur,
plus près de toi!
Tiens-moi dans ma douleur
tout près de toi,
alors que la souffrance
fait son oeuvre en silence,
toujours plus près de toi,
plus près de toi!
3 Plus près de toi, toujours,
plus près de toi!
Donne-moit ton secourts,
soutiens ma foi!
Que Satan se déchaîne,
ton amour me ramène
toujours plus près de toi,
plus près de toi!

When All Your Mercies, O My God
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: VU1996 #219 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: 1 When all your mercies, O my God,
my rising soul surveys,
transported with the view, I'm lost
in wonder, love, and praise.
2 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
my daily thanks employ;
nor is the least a cheerful heart
that tastes those gifts with joy.
3 Through every period of my life
your goodness I'll pursue;
and after death, in distant world
the glorious theme renew.
4 Through all eternity to you
a joyful song I'll raise;
but oh! eternity's too short
to utter all your praise!

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: VU1996 #62 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle-shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven,
who, with God is over all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall.
There among the poor and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 For he is our lifelong pattern;
daily, when on earth he grew;
he was tempted, scorned, rejected,
tears and smiles like us he knew.
Thus he feels for all our sadness,
and he shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love;
for that child who seemed so helpless
is our Lord in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone.

There Is a Green Hill Far Away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: VU1996 #152 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
outside a city wall,
where our dear Lord was crucified
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
what pains he had to bear,
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
his death has opened wide the gate
of heaven, to let us in.
4 O dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do. Topics: The Christian Year Holy Week; Jesus Christ Atonement; Jesus Christ Cross; Jesus Christ Love of; Jesus Christ Passion; Love for God/Christ; Palm/Passion Sunday Year B; Good Friday Year B; Good Friday Year C; Good Friday Year ABC Languages: English Tune Title: HORSLEY

I Bind unto Myself Today
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander; St. Patrick Hymnal: VU1996 #317 (1996) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today
the strong Name of the Trinity;
by invocation of the same,
the three in one and one in three.
2 I bind this day to me forever,
by power of faith, Christ's incarnation,
his baptism in the Jordan river;
his cross of death for my salvation,
his bursting from the spicèd tomb,
his riding up the heavenly way,
his coming at the day of doom:
I bind unto myself today.
3 I bind unto myself today
the virtues of the star-lit heaven,
the glorious sun's life-giving ray,
the whiteness of the moon at even,
the flashing of the lightning free,
the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks,
the stable earth, the deep salt sea
around the old eternal rocks.
4 I bind unto myself today
the power of God to hold and lead,
his eye to watch, his might to stay,
his ear to hearken to my need;
the wisdom of my God to teach,
his hand to guide, his shield to ward,
the word of God to give me speech,
his heavenly host to be my guard.
5 I bind unto myself the name,
the strong Name of the Trinity,
by invocation of the same,
the three in one and one in three,
of whom all nature has creation,
eternal Father, Spirit, Word.
Praise to the Lord of my salvation;
salvation is of Christ the Lord!

of our life's wild restless sea,
day by day his clear voice sounding,

2 Long ago apostles heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred,
leaving all for Jesus' sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world's golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, "Christian, love me more."
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these."
5 Jesus calls us: by your mercies,
Saviour, may we hear your call,
give our hearts to your obedience,
serve and love you best of all.

O Sacred Head
Author: James Waddell Alexander; Paul Gerhardt; Henri Capieu Hymnal: VU1996 #145 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Person Name: James Waddell Alexander First Line: O sacred head, sore wounded (Ô douloureux visage) Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, sore wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down,
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, thine only crown:
how art thou pale with anguish,
with sore abuse and scorn;
how does that visage languish
which once was bright as morn!
2 Thy grief and bitter passion
were all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but thine the cruel pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Saviour,
turn not from me thy face;
but look on me with favour,
and grant to me thy grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
to thank thee, dearest friend,
for this thy dying sorrow,
thy pity without end?
O make me thine forever;
and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
outlive my love to thee.
4 Be near me when I am dying,
O show thy cross to me;
and for my succour flying,
come, Lord, to set me free.
These eyes, new faith receiving,
from thee shall not remove,
for all who die believing,
die safely through thy love.

O Sacred Head
Come, You Thankful People, Come
Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: VU1996 #516 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Person Name: Henry Alford Lyrics: 1 Come, you thankful people, come,
raise the song of harvest-home!
All is safely gathered in,
safe before the storms begin;
God, our maker, does provide
for our needs to be supplied:
come to God's own temple, come,
raise the song of harvest-home!
2 All the world is God's own field,
harvests for God's praise to yield;
wheat and weeds together sown,
here for joy or sorrow grown;
first the blade, and then the ear,
then the full corn shall appear:
Harvest-giver, grant that we
wholesome grain and pure may be.
3 For our God, one day, shall come,
and shall take this harvest home,
from the field shall in that day
all offences purge away;
giving angels charge at last
in the fire the weeds to cast,
but the fruitful ears to store
in the garner evermore.
4 Even so, God, quickly come
to your final harvest-home!
Gather all your people in,
free from sorrow, free from sin;
there for ever purified,
in your presence to abide:
come, with all your angels, come,
raise the glorious harvest-home.

for the grace of yesteryears;
for tomorrow's unknown pathway,

In the church's pilgrim journey
you have led us all the way,
still in presence move before us,
fire by night and cloud by day.
3 Come, O Spirit, dwell among us;
give us words of fire and flame.
Help our feeble lips to praise you,
glorify your holy name.

three in one: what mystery!

now and through eternity.

my longing eyes:
O whence for me shall my salvation come,
from whence arise?
From God the Lord doth come my certain aid,
from God the Lord who heaven and earth hath made.
2 God will not suffer that thy foot be moved;
safe shalt thou be.
No careless slumber shall His eyelids close
who keepeth thee.
The One who sleepeth not,
who slumbereth ne'er,
shall guard thee, Israel, with most holy care.
3 Jehovah is Himself thy keeper true,
thy changeless shade;
Jehovah thy defence on thy right hand,
thine own true aid.
And thee no sun by day shall ever smite;
no moon shall harm thee in the silent night.
4 From every evil shall God keep thy soul,
from every sin;
Jehovah shall preserve thy going out,
thy coming in.
Above thee watching, God whom we adore
shall keep thee henceforth, yea, for evermore.

and to my listening ears
all nature sings, and round me rings
the music of the spheres.

I rest me in the thought
of rocks and trees, of skies and seas,
God's hand the wonders wrought.

the birds their carols raise,
the morning light, the lily white,
declare their Maker's praise.
This is God's wondrous world:
God shines in all that's fair;
in the rustling grass or mountain pass,
God's voice speaks everywhere.
3 This is God's wondrous world:
O let me ne'er forget
that though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the Ruler yet.
This is God's wondrous world:
why should my heart be sad?
Let voices sing, let the heavens ring:
God reigns, let earth be glad!
Amen.

from tender stem hath sprung,
of Jesse's lineage coming
as seers of old have sung.
It came a blossom bright,
amid the cold of winter
when half spent was the night.
2 Isaiah 'twas foretold it,
the Rose I have in mind,
with Mary we behold it,
the virgin mother kind.
To show God's love aright
she bore for us a Saviour
when half-spent was the night.

1 D'un arbre séculaire,
du vieux tronc d'Isaï,
durant l'hiver austère,
un frais rameau jaillit;
et, sur le sol durci,
dans la nuit calme et claire,
une rose a fleuri.
2 Dieu, par leur voix fervente,
de nombreux serviteurs,
à son peuple en attente,
promettait un Sauveur.
Il vient, suprême honneur,
chez une humble servante,
toute à son pur bonheur.

from their sin restrain.

then may I arise
pure, and fresh, and sinless
in your holy eyes.
